But adding to your life expectancy is also a combo of social and lifestyle measures, reports Medical Daily - and they have revealed five really rather unexpected ways men could last longer.

Men's Health says that dropping their eyes to women's breasts or even looking at cute animals can help to benefit their health by creating a positive mindset, which can have a beneficial impact on longevity.

2. Have a load of sex

A study in the British Medical Journal found more orgasms could promote life expectancy by three to eight years - after all, it's feelgood exercise, which relieve stress.

3. Tie the knot

4. Become a dad

There's all that worry and being completely broke for the most part - but being a dad actually can help men last longer. A study in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health found both genders with at least one kid had lower death risks thad chilld-free folk.

5. Take charge

A study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that nursing home residents with a plant to care for were better at alertness and general function, helping them stay stronger longer. Responsiblity was the key.
